Personal life
Rickly was born and raised in Dumont, New Jersey, in a Catholic family, and attended Dumont High School, where he was a member of the band and played the tenor sax. Rickly was raised Catholic and Epileptic, which has limited his ability to tour.
Rickly was arrested in early 2013 in New York City, where his cell phone, iPad, wallet, credit card, rent money, and medication were stolen. Rickly was poisoned and robbed in Hamburg, Germany, in 2015, when touring with No Devotion at the Reeperbahn Festival. Rickly was hospitalized, causing them to postpone their performance, but they recovered in Paris the following day for a scheduled show.
Rickly confessed to fighting a heroin use that began shortly after Thursday's breakup in 2011. Rickly was encouraged to stop using the drug following his reunion in 2016 on Thursday.
Musical career
Rickly has contributed guest vocals to many songs, including My American Heart's "We Are the Fabrication", Murder by Death's "Killbot 2000", This Day Forward's "Sunfalls and Watershine", Circa Survive's "The Lottery", and My Chemical Romance's "This Is the Best Day Ever". He also occasionally performs solo, most recently in Hoboken, New Jersey, at the Eyeball Records holiday party, performing his band, Thursday songs "Autumn Leaves Revisited" and "This Side of Brightness" acoustically.
Lyrically, Rickly has been known to draw from a wide variety of influences, many of them being authors and poets. In a March 2009 interview, he cited the works of Denis Johnson, Martin Amis, Roberto Bolaño and David Foster Wallace as being among his influences for the lyrics of Thursday's Common Existence album, which was released in February 2009. A tattoo on his forearm reads "love is love", a lyric from the band Frail; Rickly adopted these lyrics into Thursday's "A Hole in the World." The band's song, "Autobiography Of A Nation" is clearly influenced by poet Michael Palmer's "Sun." Rickly has also written, recorded and played for United Nations, an experimental powerviolence collaboration.
